When Beijing City appeared in front of him, Harriel was completely shocked. Although he had seen Lanzhou, Kaifeng and other big cities before, when he saw Beijing City, he truly knew what a big city was. Whether Samarkand or the Roman Constellation Danteburg, it was far from comparable to the grand city in front of him.

The closer he got to Beijing, the more shocked Haril was. He never expected that there was such a great city in this world, which was said to have been the capital of the Mongols before.

Fu An, Guo Ji and others in the mission were also very excited. After all, they had been away from the capital for so long and suffered so much during the period. Now they finally returned home. Then they thought of the other people who died in Samarkand, which made many people a little sad.

Soon the delegation arrived at the city gate, and there were people waiting here to welcome them. When they saw clearly the people coming to greet them, Fu An and others were also startled and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Go to the minister Fu An to see the prince-consort!"

"Thank you all for your hard work. Your Majesty understands you, so he specially sent someone to greet him. At the same time, Your Majesty also held a banquet in the palace to personally welcome you!" Li Jie also smiled and went forward to return and said with a polite manner.

Originally, there was no need for Li Jie to come out to greet the missions in person when returning to Beijing. After all, it was not uncommon for the missions sent to various countries in the Ming Dynasty. They were usually served by people from the Ministry of Rites, and when they came back, they only needed to hand over the people from the Ministry of Rites.

However, Fu An and others were different. They went to the Timur Empire and almost died in Samarkand. However, they escaped with their own abilities. This experience can be called a legend, so Zhu Yunyu and Li Jie also attached great importance to those who came back to the mission.

When Fu An and others were excited to tears when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor had actually held a banquet to greet them, they immediately praised the emperor's grace.

However, Li Jie turned his gaze to the prison car in the team. He walked to the side of the prison car. Fu An and others hurriedly followed, and then Li Jie smiled and asked, "Which one of these people is Harrier?"

"I'm Haril!" Before anyone could answer, Haril in the cage replied in stiff Chinese. He was proficient in many languages ​​and had studied Chinese specifically before the Eastern Expedition. In addition, he had been with Fu An and others during this period, so he was more proficient in Chinese, but his pronunciation was a little inaccurate.

Li Jie also walked to Harriel's cage when he heard this, and then looked up and down at the other party. Finally, he said, "I heard that you are Timur's favorite grandson, and he even intends to train you to take over his position. Unfortunately, you are now a prisoner at the ranks, and I'm afraid you will never have this opportunity again!"

"Who are you? Are you here to laugh at me today?" Harrier was unmoved and asked with his eyes staring at Li Jie tightly.

"Haril, this is my Ming Dynasty prince consort. Speaking of which, you were defeated by General Song, it was actually thanks to the prince consort!" Fu An next to him spoke and introduced Li Jie.

"He?" Harriel looked up and down at Li Jie when he heard this, and then smiled disdainfully, "Isn't the so-called prince consort the one who married the emperor's daughter? Seeing his innocent appearance, I guess he has never even been on the battlefield. What does it have to do with Song Sheng's defeat to me?"

"Bold!" Lei Ming, the Jinyiwei next to him, shouted loudly, "Haril, you are so confused. You still don't know who you have defeated. You are not afraid to tell you that the hot balloon that defeated you was invented by the prince-consort himself. In addition, the firearms in the Ming army were also the prince-consort who found ways to improve it!"

Hearing thunder, Harriel finally showed a look of shock, and the gaze that looked at Li Jie was a little more solemn. As someone who had fought with the Ming army, the most profound thing he remembered was the Ming army's firearms and the big ball that could fly in the sky. Of course, he also learned the name of the hot balloon after being captured later. However, he did not expect to see the person who invented the hot balloon, and the other party was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Jie didn't care about Haril's offense, but saw him smile again and asked, "Temur's Eastern Expedition was not good. The army was infected with the plague as soon as it went on, so he had to stay in Edala to recuperate. Now the weather is getting warmer, and his illness seems to be cured. However, after you damage your vanguard army, do you think Timur will continue the Eastern Expedition?"

The news that Timur was infected with the epidemic has been learned by the Jinyiwei. After all, there were many Jinyiwei secretly on the side of Edala. Even Li Jie knew that Timur was about to die of illness, but was saved by the Jinjina bark brought by the Ming delegation. This made him sigh at the magic of the world. His time travel has changed the fate of too many people.

"What do you mean? I want to find out my words?" Harriel looked at Li Jie very vigilantly when he heard this. Now he did not dare to underestimate the prince-consort of the Ming Dynasty, so he also cheered up his whole heart when he spoke.

"Don't get me wrong. I just want to ask you what you think about this matter. After all, you are Timur's favorite grandson and should also know his personality best. When encountering such a big setback, I'm afraid that most people will choose to withdraw, right?" Li Jie asked again. He asked this question only out of curiosity and had no other ideas.

Harrier was silent for a while after hearing this, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know. No one can see through my grandfather's thoughts, even if I am the same, so I don't know if my grandfather will withdraw his troops?"

Although Harriel seemed very calm on the surface when he spoke, he lied because he knew that with his grandfather's stubborn personality, he could not give up even if he encountered any major setbacks. Therefore, the matter of Dongzheng would definitely continue, just to prevent the Ming Dynasty from getting useful information from him, so he did not tell the truth.

Li Jie also kept staring at Harrier, but the other party's expression management was excellent, so he couldn't see anything abnormal from the other party's face.

But in the end, Li Jie suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you know? But I know that with my understanding of Timur, he is extremely stubborn, not to mention that the Eastern Expedition was a wish for most of his life. He has prepared for this for many years, so I bet that he will definitely not give up easily, and maybe he has ordered the army to set sail and be ready to cross the Tianshan Mountains."
